Social lata Reform. From the New York Times.
Those who' are looking for the hoofs
and horns of the new socialist mayor Of MUwauReedo not find them in evi
dence In his official acts thus far. His
first order waa surely a singular one
ho directed that the city, employes
Should work eight Instead of six hours,
Another order, was that there Bhould be gathered ."accurate and adequate

economio conditions, leading to specific and practical plans for social bet- ; terment.' There can hardly be ; two minds about such Ideas, unless it be whether they are socialism. i If Mayor Belder will insist upon Milwaukee getting a dollar's worth of labor for a dollar, and will. not press his reforms .upon Impracticable lines, adopted before he knows where the reforms will lead, it will make little difference to llllwaukeeans whether or not he calls . himself a socialist. The name will not hurt It bis acta are safe and sane.
The Soul of Wit and Oratory. From the Providence Journal. . Attorney General Wlckersham, quoting, at ; the dinner In honor of Lord Kitchener t the Waldorf, the . great soldier's own dictum that any man can say all be has to say In seven minutes, proceeded to exemplify, the rule by taking much less than that amount of time for his own remarks. Not all after-dinner speakers could profitably condense their brilliance into so small a apace,' perhaps; possibly Lord Kitchener himself would not urge a too literal holding to his prescription; but what a relief from tedium and vacuity there would be if It were generally understood at functions of this sort that ; speakers were to adhere as nearly as practicable to the seven-minute ideal! As Constable said of painting, so it
may be said of. oratory, "After all, there Is such a thins as the art"; and the art ot oratory consists very largely Id keeping a close watch upon one's elf and upon one's audience, putting a concisely as possible . what needs to be said, and sitting down.

Capitol of America.
From the Baltimore American. ' As a 'Temple of Peace, Commerce and Friendship, or. to employ the term of Mr. Carnegie, as the capitol in the capital of the United States of all the Americas, the International bureau of American republics in its fine new edifice will be an expression ot International amity and common enterprise such as .the world has not before seen. The - tying" of the continent by the band of good will is a feat for which Senator Root, when Secretary of State la largely deserving of credit. - The establishment ot the bureau In Washington and the erection of the magnificent temple that will be dedicated next ' Tuesday are feats the importance Of which the future will need to disclose, so far reaching may be the Influence sent forth to all parts ot the American continent. Here will center the forces for the development of the commerce of the American republics . a clearing house for all that shall advance friendship and peace. The monthly publication is an epitome of the American republics, a survey of the entire continental field. .
. ' juat Like the Men. From the New York Herald. Daughters of the American Revolution, assembled In Washington, wrangled In a parliamentary tangle more than an hour, with fifty women at once .shouting for recognition and others excitedly running up and down the hall. Members of congress among the spectators must feel that the Daughters are qualified to sit in the house of representatives.

ROBIN HOOD.-
. This thing of special privilege that Americans are only beginning to be aroused over is by no means a modern Invention. It was old when the deer ran wild in the forests of Knaresborough and Sherwood and the honest man who shot the king's fallow deer was done to death by those who , head and hang for the king.' The tale tells of Robin Hood the outlaw; how he lived the free life of the forest, -owning no man's collar; of how he took what was his by right and the king's by title the doe running not quite so fast as his gray goose shaft and how therefore 1 being free and fearing only God and no man, he became an outlaw; and the ballads of all England are full of his reprisals on the fat bishops who oppressed the people and the great lords and those who held fief from the king when they passed through the forest, r
You would call him an honest man today. But why an outlaw? ' . As it was in the beginning so it Is now; for the man who attacks the system of special privilege, be it in the form of monopoly taxes of trusts and the tariff, or the rates of public service corporations let him heed lest he be destroyed even as men were for the slaughter of a deer in the green recesses of Sherwood. Let him try to take from the man who robs the poor and the law itself intervenes to protect the robber baron, be he in this or any other day and look you, brother, he becomes an outlaw. ' All the pack are after him, his business, his life all he holds dear, this is the end of his desire to assert his independence.
' But from time to time there arise men in the ages who feel in 'their hearts that the green foreBt with its freedom is worth the outlawry; there be those who set death at naught rather than to endure the thralldom longer.' , v, ' It Is these men who are done to death as "enemies of society," and "vested rights." ; Here in America we are faced with the conditions of one law for the rich and another for the poor man. And twist it how you will the poor are growing poorer by that operation. This indictment is not too strong it is a fact and In the face of this condition it is time for the people to realize that those who fight for them with all that there Is In them are outlawed by that token.
The same law that protects the rich and takes from the poor that Is the code that outlaws those that fight It. And it is not alone the Payne-Aldrich bill, nor public service franchises either. : r '

PLENTY LEFT.
In another place In this issue may be found the ordinance pending before the common council which promises to do much , toward eliminating death, lockjaw, and many of' the dangers of the Fourth of July as now practiced with all the accompaniments ot barbarism. v The most conclusive part of the argument for the ordinance is the list of those articles of celebration which may be used. There are plenty left for the-youngster to have a good time with. In Insisting that the Fourth should not be deadly, we have taken the stand that the small boy should not be neglected that he should have a good time. We are of the opinion that if left to a committee of our young friends they would agree that there are plenty of things remaining for them to have fun in. The fireworks dealers of this city are to be congratulated for their interest in the question, m bettering conditions under their control. : '. It Is, however, easy to believe that they will sell more fireworks if the ordinance goes through than they will if parents ldbk forward with dread .to that holiday. If the ordinance does not .pass It would even pay them to enter into an agreement,' (If thatbe not in restraint of trade) to refrain from the selling of the dangerous brands of explosives. There are plenty left.' 'v;' l:x-i-'::-u-, 'i';'rH - j-K.-" -v'-.?: J

Children as Street Cleaners . MRS. fJW. STEPHENS.
We do what we are able to make our
siaewaias neat, ' And we will keep right on.
And all the people tar and near, in sun
shine or in rain. Rejoice to see our cleaner streets and find the reason plain.
We children take a hand to keep our
pathways clean, And we will keep right on. ' Another song equally rousing is entitled "Neighbor Mine:" . Look, whene'er you drop a paper, ' Neighbor mine. In the wind it cuts a caper, , - Neighbor mine. Down the street it madly courses, And should fill you with remorses ; When you see It scare the horses, ' Neighbor mine.
Paper-cans were made for papers,
Neighbor mine.
Let's not have this fact escape us, ,
Neighbor mine. 'And if you will lend a hand.
Soon our city, dear, shall stand. As the cleanest In the land,
Neighbor mine.
T In the Norfolk Street Vacation School New York;eity, five classes were formed as miniature departments ot street cleaning. ; It proved so successful that the board of education authorised i its introduction into all of the city schools of the four higher grades.

resent their littering by other people.
Personal pride and patriotic feeling
are stirred and the matter is brought
closely home by showing that of the hundreds who suffer from clogged and ill-smelling sewers, slippery banana peels mixed and disease-breeding garbage barrels, the child's own parents or even he himself may any moment be among the number. Every child is given a paper on which to record at
the end of a week the number of per
son 8 or other children to whom he may
have spoken about the matter of keeping the city clean and tidy; the number ot bonfires he succeeded in stopping the number of skins picked up and put
into the trash receptacles and the sum
ber of papers he has kept from being thrown on the pavement and various
things of a similar nature.
On the basis of such reports badges are given out,' ranking the children as
"Helpers," "Foremen" or "superintend
ents." , Special work and interest are
awarded, v From time to time large
mass meetings of children are held in
some hall; The singing of "street

TWINKLES
(By Thilander Johnson)
Discrimination. "Was it a Rood game yesterday?"
"Part of the time. When the home
team . was scoring its runs the play
was exceptionally fine."
Joyous Spectacles.
In a world that presents many inci
dents slum.
These make us forget all our sor
rows and sins;
The knocker whose hammer lands on
'his own thumb,
And the kicker who awkwardly
barks his own shins.
Benefactors.
"I understand that the real estate
men have been very busy in your su
burb."
"Yes." answered Mr. Crosslots,
"and they have done a lot for it."
"You think they contribute to the
welfare of the community?"
"Undoubtedly. So long as they keep putting up . signs nobody s,uf fers for
the lack of kindling wood." .
The Current Demand.-
"Do you read Dickens or Thacker
ay?"
"No," replied the best-seller author,
"I know rd enjoy them, and some
time I'm going to read their books,
But at present I can't take a chance
on spoiling my style."
Speaking Scientifically. .
"Do you have, well water on your
place?"
"I shouldn't say it was exactly well
water," replied - the , man who is obsessed by the germ1 theory, , bat the latest analysis shows it is on the road
to recovery." t
The Robin.
When shadows dark have made the world seem dreary and monoto
nous,
And everything except the sky is
blue,
We fancy that the friends we used to
know have all forgotten us
And sunny days have all been gotten
through. We think that we have reached , point where even bald civility
Is scarce where comradeship . was
' once so free.
Then we get a salutation from that
prince of affability,
, The robin who is singing in the tree.
He tells a jaunty story of a million
welcome visitors
Who come to join and beautify his
. - wsong.
The ghosts of introspection slink away
like gaunt inquisitors
As hosts of summer sunshine troop
along. ... v . .
He takes the sting from every petty
, human animosity
-. Since nature, just as kind as she
,' - ' can be, . "
Is scattering her treasures with such
hearty generosity
For us and for the robin in the tree.
